Fantastic news has been shared with us from the Pacific Northwest this evening. We have our first sighting of new Generations toys found at a United States retail store! 2005 Board member, Sportimus, reports finding the new Generations Legend two packs, Swerve with Flanker and Cosmos with Payload at his local Target store in Spokane Valley, Washington. Many fans are looking forward to this wave. Mostly because of Swerve and his popularity in the More Than Meets The Eye IDW comic book series.
Time to start hunting those Target stores! Hopefully other retailers, including online retailers, will be getting their stock in soon!

Went to my local Target and gave them the DCPI… Came back with a nice big case of Megatron and Starscream legends. Joy. I asked for anything else and they had zilch. So great, those will be pegwarming forever.
Agreed. Most stores like TRU and Target have empty TF sections. My guess is when the big stocking comes along they will hit shelves.

I want these characters so much, I'm going to buy both of them if I see this wave at Target

i'd imagine more stores would get them closer to the street date of AoE as stores will be redoing their toy sections. I know these two aren't street dated like AoE but would save some labor. maybe.

I really, really, need that Cosmos. Swerve I can do without. I'll opt for Trashtalk.

It's the same DPCI as the other legends that have been rotting on the pegs for over a year, so it's not likely to be of any help to you. 087-06-1379.

Cosmos is. The Linekiller finally gets his due. Superb little Bot.

I double-checked with my local Target, and had my hopes up since they had a case in the back.. brought it out and it was MORE Prime/BB/SS/Megatron.
Gah! Jersey's always last!!!
There is a sightings thread for every state.

Just check there and you'll know when to go looking at your local Targets.

Not for sure but they could even have reused the DCPI from the data discs for the size class still since that's what it was called still when the Megatron and Starscreams were there.
So, a Target could say it has it by the number but could still have data discs I'd definitely make sure what's on the shelf when calling around asking about the number.

Can't wait for these to hit Virginia..

i want swerve based off of character but cosmos looks like a better toy. hnnngh.

Highway2 Target in Spokane Washington has a healthy stock of Cosmo's, Swerve, Whirl, and Rhinox, for those in the area looking.

So, are they actually showing up across the Pacific northwest, or is this the only guy to find them?

Still just in the pacific northwest then? It'll probly be a week or three before we see them out here in the mid-atlantic

Oh hey! I'm out of Weatherford myself!

Think you've slightly mistransformed the waist in that photo: the bottom of the saucer should be flush with the top of the waist with no gap.

Believe it or not, but my local Targets are pretty sucky as well when it comes to getting new stuff. They've been barren with only Construct-Bots and a few lingering Target Exclusive BH figures for months until Monday afternoon. I was in sheer disbelief when I saw Cosmos and Swerve packages hanging there. I almost didn't bother going there at all. I'm glad I did anyway.
I haven't opened Swerve yet, but Cosmos is prety cool. Joints are crazy tight in most places, and be VERY careful when twisting his waist with some force.Hope you guys find him and Swerve! Happy hunting.
